How to: The Specialization Books that vendors sell can be attained without spending any gold. Save your game, then purchase the book. You will get a message on screen that says "Specialization Unlocked." Load the game that you saved before buying the book. You will have the Specialization unlocked and the gold.

Description: In the origins stories, be sure to remove all the items of those that accompany you (and leave your party) prior to their departure. You may need to save the gaem more often. You can use these items to sell or equip as needed.
Another example: once you return from the Kokori Wilds, before talking to Duncan, remove all the equipment from Jory and Daveth since they are destined to die.

How to: In Redcliff, convince the innkeeper to join the fight. This will leave the barmaid in charge. Ask her for supplies and she will give you anything in the shop for free. Leave town and go to camp. Come back and get more supplies. Every time you return she will have a random assortment of the current and lower tier below crystals for Shale. They start to sell for 1 Gold Piece after you reach the "Cear" tier.
*** Leaving the town before defending it will result in a lot of dead villagers, possibly the barmaid as well.
Update: You do not need to leave the town for the crystals to reappear. You simply need to leave the inn and re-enter it.

During the scene, collect a pinch of ashes and then put blood in the ashes. Allow yourself to be killed afterward and reload your save. This time, collect the ashes but do not put the blood in. Leave the temple and fight the disciples waiting for you to get the 2nd Trophy / Achievement.

Before going to attend the meeting with Duncan and the King, return to the Quartermaster. There should be another Backpack available at the same price as earlier.

Description: This is a comprehensive crafting guide (Pt 2)
As such, here there be spoilers

Dragon Age has three schools of crafting: Herbalism, Trap Making and Poisons. Each of the three comes in four ranks: Basic (not named), Improved, Expert and Master. As long as you have the ingredients in your rather sizable inventory, you may make the items.

This is a comprehensive crafting guide
As such, here there be spoilers

Dragon Age has three schools of crafting: Herbalism, Trap Making and Poisons. Each of the three comes in four ranks: Basic (not named), Improved, Expert and Master. As long as you have the ingredients in your rather sizable inventory, you may make the items.

How to: You can duplicate gear, ingredients, potions, and other stuff as long as you already have two copies of the item you want to duplicate. It is best to only have the items you want to duplicate in both your Junk inventory and the merchant's. Put at least two of the item you want to copy in the "Junk" section of your bag. Go to any merchant and press sell all the junk in your bag. Now, select the item from the merchant's side, and buy back all but one of the item. Next, select it when it is in your inventory again. Press TRIANGLE followed by X very quickly. This requires precise timing and may require a few attempts, but it becomes easy to do after a few tries. You can keep repeating the process until you have 99 of the item. You can use this glitch with any of the Tomes as well to give your character all magic abilities max attributes by duplicating the Tomes.

How to: There is a quest glitch early in the game that allows you to complete part of it and gain experience. You just keep turning in the first part without completing the full quest. Doing this keeps gaining your character experience. I would suggest not leveling to much or it just ruins the game. But maybe to try a different character the 2nd time through so it is a little easier to get started.

*** A patch has fixed this. To use the glitch, you will need to avoid the update.

Description: During the Tainted Blood mission in Ostargar, collect the three Vials of Darkspawn Blood but avoid collecting the Grey Warden Treaties. After you have the vials, talk to Duncan and choose the conversation option "We have the blood, but not the scrolls." The conversation will end and you will get experience! You can repeat the conversation and get the experience each time -- you can do this all the way up to the level cap at 25 (if you are patient)! You can click through the conversation fairly quickly once you have done it a few times.

Now before you read this make sure you have reached Redcliffe and have reached the demon at the end. Now always go with the demon. Your the demon friend. So accept her offer and choose the blood magi option. This will unlock the Blood Mage specialization next time you level up.
Here is a list of the unlockable Blood Mage spells.

Blood Sacrifice:
* Required Level: 12
* Cost: 0
* Upkeep: 0
* Fatigue: 0
* Range: Yes
* Cooldown (sec): 15
* Area of Effect Radius: 0
* Transfer up to 50 pts of party member health into up to 100 pts of the caster.
* Blood Magic must be active for use of this spell

The blood mage sucks the life-force from an ally, healing the caster but potentially killing the ally. This healing is not affected by the healing penalty of Blood Magic.

The blood of all hostile targets in the area boils within their veins, inflicting severe damage. Targets stand twitching, unable to move unless they pass a physical resistance check. Creatures without blood are immune.

The blood mage forcibly controls the target’s blood, making the target an ally of the caster unless it passes a mental resistance check. If the target resists, it still takes 10x damage from the manipulation of its blood. Creatures without blood are immune.

Note: This will not change anything in the story, the same outcome if you choose to kill her.

Get Both Leliana and Morrigan to stay in Love with you at once, Morrigan to fall for you 3x

81%

The way to do this is simple as long as you follow the steps in exact order, but you must save the Orzammar (or at least hold off on giving Morrigan the mirror) quests for last. Otherwise, go about the game building the romantic interest with both ladies. when it comes to the point where they would bump heads, IT IS IMPORTANT that you talk to Morrigan first to end things. If you end with Leliana first then this won't work. Morrigan will claim that if you tell her you are done then that will be the end of it, NOT THE CASE. Woo Leliana as normal and get her to allow you to bed her, but continue to build Morrigan's approval with gifts, convo, etc. When you get to the point when you give Morrigan the first Grimoire, ask her for a kiss and she will have feelings for you again, after this is also when she gave me the ring. At this point go through the part with Leliana where she gives you the ultimatum, Pick her, and it will drop Morrigan's approval, but she should still be at decent standing. After killing Flemeth and delivering the True Grimoire, give it to Morrigan and she will consider you a true friend upon picking the right dialogue. Once you get to Orzammar, go to the lyrium-crazed vendor and buy the mirror. Give it to Morrigan and tell her "its a gift for a beautiful lady" and she will be in love AGAIN. When you start a dialogue with her again, she will ask you your opinion on love, end the conversation with "you are worth my distraction", her approval will only drop 4 points, but after that she will always say, "Your Desire?" when you start a convo. I talked to Leliana after this, she was still at max approval, and she still says the "sweet and attentive" comment, and will still sleep with you at camp, Morrigan, however, when in love will only let you kiss, trying to bed her will drop her approval rating. Even so, you should feel like a stud with having both ladies on your arm.

Here is a list of the legendary weapons and armor and how to get them
Successfully complete the indicated task to unlock the corresponding legendary weapon:

Keening Blade: Successfully complete the "Unbound" quest. In order to even start it you need to collect the journals from the following locations:

1. Adventurer's corpse in Ruined Temple on the "Urn Of Sacred Ashes" quest in the southwest corridor.
2. Brecilian Ruins' Lower Ruins in the south fire trap room.
3. Talk to an adventurer in Orzammar's Tapster's tavern.
4. Go to Denerim, then go to the dirty back alley, and fight the demon.
Marjorlaneses Recurve: Successfully complete Leliana's character quest.

The Ageless: In Orzammar before you pick a new king, click the king's throne, set three of your party members on pressure plates around the area, and use the fourth to click the throne again. Kill the dragon to get the Ageless legendary weapon.

Staff Of The Magister Lords: Purchased it in the Wonders Of Thedas in Denerim.

Starfang Longsword: Get the random encounter with the crater, then take the Starmetal to Wardens Keep to have a one or two handed sword made. - Two Weapon fighting characters would benefit the most out of this

Summersword: Defeat Loghain's general when trying to save the queen.

The Rose's Thorn: Purchased it in a shop in Orzammar.

Topsiders Honor: In Deep Roads, find the three pieces, then reassemble them in Ortan Thaig.

Yusaris Greatsword: Successfully complete the "Statue" quest on the third floor of the Magi Tower by selecting the statues in the following order: Left, Right, Middle, then the statue near the fourth floor stairs.

Wintersbreath: It can be obtained through the Warden's Keep DLC or by purchasing it at the Wonders Of Thedas.

Blood Dragon: Use the DLC to get the first piece, and the rest will be in Bodhan's shop in your camp.

Juggernaut: Examine the three tombstones in the Brecilian Forrest to get the first three pieces. Successfully complete the "Jug" quest in the Ruins to get the final piece.

Legion Set: Pieces are spread throughout the Deeproads.

Reapers Vestment (best robe): Purchased it at the Wonders Of Thedas.

Robes Of Possession: Successfully complete Morrigan's character quest by killing Flemmeth. They can then be found in the chest in Flemeth's hut.

Wade's: Wade of Wade's Emporium in Denerim will make you three sets of armor, two of which will use 3x Drake Scales, and the other will need the Dragon Scale. The first two sets are leather armor, and the third is your choice of medium, heavy, or massive. You can get lots of Drake Scales and the Dragon Scale during the "Urn Of Sacred Ashes" quest. Note: Make sure you always pay the extra gold when asked to get the best results.

When doing the "Tainted Blood mission, collect the three vials of Darkspawn Blood, but not the Grey Warden Treaties, and go to Duncan. Tell him "We have the blood, but not the scrolls." to gain the experience for the mission, but not complete it. Keep doing this as long as you like to level up.

To get extra experience points earlier in the game, go to the city of Denerim. Find a building named "Wonders of Thedas". Go inside it and purchase the Archivist's Belt. As long as it is equipped, you will get an experience boost for everything in your Codex. Example: Books will increase from 50 experience points to 75 experience points each.

Hope this helps just a hint collect the tomes which let you pick 1 spell point for mages if you collect two of the same tomes and then use the duplicate which is posted and you can level up your mages spells without level up yourself which is handy lol

Hi I did the easy money ok so you need at least 2 of the item put the 2 items or more in the your junk then go to any merchant and sell all junk which is triangle then buy just 1 of the item you just sold with that one press triangle quickly followed by X this means you will sell 3 not 2 so you will have 3 of that item in the merchant junk now to repeat and have loads just buy 1 again and repeat method thanx

the only problem is youll have to buy the items back that you duplicate so if you have 10 duplicates than you have to buy all them back but if you do my easy money then should be ok

When you go to ogastar go to the ash warrior leader when you first get there make sure you have the persuade talent then wait for the leader guy to ask the elf his name he should say it's pick sir then wait for him to start running away catch up with him and talk to him say just wanted to talk the he says am I in trouble you should say I'm afraid so he says oh are you the one I'm supposed to give this sword to you souls say yes and he gives it to u

Once you reach Redcliffe, there will be an option to enter the Possessed boy, apart from killing him and confronting the demon inside of the boy. Do not kill the Possessed boy. Instead, choose the option to enter the boy and let the Blood Mage do his ritual. Once you are inside, talk to the father. Once that is done, you must talk to the boy and kill the demon inside him multiple times. Once you reach a certain part where you talk to the demon straightforward, try to talk with her. Talking with her( the demon) will get you more than just killing her. She will request that in exchange for her life, and the permission to enter the boy's body again in the near future, she will offer you gifts. One is a new specialization. Another is a certain rare item, armor, or weapon. Finally, is pleasure. Pleasure should not be an option, as it does not give you anything in exchange, not even an intimate scene. Select either the item or the specialization. However if you truly do not want to obtain anything useful, kill her. Killing her alone results in the same experience you would get from killing the boy, not to mention the previous times you have also killed her.

Hi hope this helps but quite hard to do get your most expensive item in your junk go to any merchant and highlight the item for ps3 hit both triangle and X this should be sell all junk and sell and you double your money keep trying this cheat does work just buy it back for less than just sold and you'll have unlimited money without selling all you stuff hope it help

How to: This is a random event that happens when traveling on the world map. You will encounter a farmer and his wife who find a baby in a meteor crash. They have decided to take the baby and raise it as their own. You will get the Meteor Ore that the baby came in. It can be made into armor by Wade in Denerim. Your best chance of getting this event is from one of the Chantry Board mission in Redcliffe. Travel straight from Redcliffe to Refugees.

Its Quite Hard to do as skills are rare they happen on levels 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24 so how to get max quick is to save up 2 skill points for example ull have to wait 2 skill levels then with them 2 points put it in the first slot of your desired skill then press X which is learn followed by O which is undo quickly all the way to max its very hard and needs to be quick it thinks you are using youre second skill point which you are >nt and boom max skill but you have to have 2 skill points saved might be quite easy with the skill tomes. ok thanx also looks messy coz the 2nd, 3rd are blank but if you max youre skill who cares lol

How to get the three class levels trophies/achievements (WITCH HUNT DLC ONLY!!!)

38%

Ok so what you need to do is create 1 rogue character in DAO,1 warrior character,1 mage character, then you need to get to lothering with all three of them, save with each of them, then, import them 1 by 1 to witch hunt and you will level up to level 20 then you will get the 3 class level 20 achievements/trphies

If you have a high enough affection, then you will get a ring from moragon. if you ask her if it works both ways, she will say she doesn't know. then at the end of the game, if you have a child with her, then she leaves. I believe you then can use the ring to find her, and the child she took with her when she left you.

In the beginning of the game after you completed the part before you become a grey warden. "Duncan" will tell you to go into the "Wilds" and retrieve 3 vials of "Darkspawn Blood" and to look for "magically sealed" treaties.

You need to go into the wilds and retrieve the vials of blood, but do not get the treaties.

When you have the blood and not the treaties go talk to Duncan again, he will ask you if you have the blood and the treaties, you will say I have the vials of blood, but not the treaties.

This will give you the experience of the mission and you can do this until you are done with the glitch or you can go all the way to level 25.

Be careful tho because even tho you might become a high level the enemies will now be as high.
And you wont have good enough equipment at that level then you would if you leveled up normally.

Ok the trophys for getting each skill class to 20 in this.. You will need the dlc's to do it.

When you wake up and start talking to marrigan save your game and log out. Then create a game with one of the dlc's after you complete the starting of the cut scenes and talking you get a big boost for the dlc's becuase they require a certian level use all the oints given for your slots (note: I did this under morrigans dlc also you wont get too keep the skill when you go back to main game) once you finish spreading your points you hit level 20 and get the trophy

Does anyone know which Origin story gives the most gold/eqpt/items etc?
So far the most I got after unequiping my party before leaving for ostagar, and picking up stuff, was from the Dalish Elf origin (about 12G worth of stuff after selling them all to the quartermaster at ostaagar). and the least was from the dwarven noble, cause they strip you of everything when they imprison you.
